  2. Alanine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alanine

    Spin view of ball-stick model. Alanine (symbol Ala or A), [4] or α-alanine, is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an amine group and a carboxylic acid group, both attached to the central carbon atom which also carries a methyl group side chain. Consequently it is classified as a nonpolar, aliphatic α

  3. Amino acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid

    Surface-based chemical metabolism of amino acids and very small compounds may have led to the build-up of amino acids, coenzymes and phosphate-based small carbon molecules. [ 119 ] [ additional citation(s) needed ] Amino acids and similar building blocks could have been elaborated into proto- peptides , with peptides being considered key ...

  4. Glycine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycine

    L-Glycine ball and stick model spinning. Glycine (symbol Gly or G; [6] / ˈ ɡ l aɪ s iː n / ⓘ) [7] is an amino acid that has a single hydrogen atom as its side chain. It is the simplest stable amino acid. Glycine is one of the proteinogenic amino acids. It is encoded by all the codons starting with GG (GGU, GGC, GGA, GGG). [8]

  5. Phenylalanine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylalanine

    Phenylalanine ball and stick model spinning. Phenylalanine (symbol Phe or F) [3] is an essential α-amino acid with the formula C 9 H 11 NO 2.It can be viewed as a benzyl group substituted for the methyl group of alanine, or a phenyl group in place of a terminal hydrogen of alanine.

  7. Leucine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucine

    Leucine ball and stick model spinning. Leucine (symbol Leu or L) [3] is an essential amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.Leucine is an α-amino acid, meaning it contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH 3 + form under biological conditions), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO − form under biological conditions), and a side ...

  8. Molecular model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_model

    Beever's ball and stick model of ruby (Cr-doped corundum) made with acrylic balls and stainless steel rods. However, most molecules require holes at other angles and specialist companies manufacture kits and bespoke models. Besides tetrahedral, trigonal and octahedral holes, there were all-purpose balls with 24 holes. These models allowed ...

  9. Stable isotope composition of amino acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_isotope_composition...

    The abundance of 15 N in some amino acids reflects an organism's position in a food web. This is due to the ways organisms metabolize different amino acids when they are consumed. Trophic amino acids (TrAAs) are first deaminated, meaning that the amino group is removed to produce an alpha-keto acid carbon skeleton.
